Abadlali be-African Travel and Tourism bacabangisisa ngezitayela, amathuba kanye nezinselelo ezizolungisa indlela ezayo.

Abadlali abakuhlelo lwezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha e-Afrika babheke ngabomvu unyaka ka-2019 ngethemba eligcwele lokukhula kwezokuvakasha zaleli zwekazi. I-Afrika iphinde yasalela emuva ngokufika kwezivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe kanye namarisidi onyaka wezi-2018 njengoba izibalo ezisemthethweni ezikhishwe UNWTO iqinisekisile yayo. Ngokwephesenti izwekazi lenze ukuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kokusebenza kwalo ngokukhula ngo-5.3. Kodwa-ke, izwekazi laba ngcono endaweni ye-MICE okungamandla amasha aqhuba umkhakha wezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele. Ukusuka eGhana kuya eKenya, eNingizimu Afrika kuya eZimbabwe sikulethela abadlali bezokuvakasha base-Afrika kanye nezibikezelo zabo zonyaka ka-2019.

Masigibele umfutho futhi siqhubeke siqhubekela phambili emizamweni yethu yokuqinisa ezokuVakasha ezinhlelweni zentuthuko zikazwelonke zamazwe ase-Afrika ngokubandakanyeka okubalulekile kwezinkampani ezizimele ukuze zibe usizo olukhulu ekudaleni amathuba emisebenzi, kanye nokufukula intsha nabesifazane. Ezokuvakasha kanye ne-Afrika, kokubili okuyizingqinamba zokuqina, ziyaqhubeka nokubonisa ukukhula kwazo okuzinzile nokubandakanya wonke umuntu, umkhuba engikholelwa ukuthi ungase uthuthukiswe yizici ezimbili ezishayelayo eminyakeni ezayo: (i) Ukuthuthukiswa kokuxhuma emoyeni ngokwethulwa kweSingle African. I-Air Transport Market (SAATM) ezoba nomthelela omkhulu ekuthuthukisweni okubalulekile kwezokuvakasha kwamazwe ase-Afrika kanye (ii) nokuhlangana phakathi kwezokuphepha nokukhuthazwa kwezokuvakasha, okuzolungiselela kangcono amazwe ukuthi avimbele, aphendule futhi agcine amabhizinisi awo esebenza esikhathini esizayo. lapho izimpawu zezokuvakasha ngezinye izikhathi zibekela inselele izenzo zobugwala.

Ekugcineni ngifisa ukuthi unyaka wezi-2019 uveze amandla ezokuvakasha, hhayi nje esimeni sawo somnotho kuphela, kodwa nasekuphulukisweni kwawo nasekubekezeleni kwawo njengomthombo wokuthula.

U-2018 ube unyaka omuhle kwezokuvakasha eKenya. Sibonga kakhulu kubo bonke abakhethe i-Kenya kanye nokubonga okukhulu nakakhulu kuHulumeni wethu kanye no-CS Hon Najib Balala kanye neBhodi Lezokuvakasha laseKenya ngokusebenza kanzima kule ndawo. Sizwakalisa ukubonga kubo bonke Abatshalizimali kanye nabasebenzi bezokuvakasha abasebenze ubusuku nemini futhi abasaqhubeka nokusebenza imini nobusuku ukuze kwenzeke. Siyabonga kubo bonke abathwali abasha bezindleko eziphansi abavula isibhakabhaka eKenya.

U-2019 nangaphezulu kuzoba unyaka omuhle kwezokuvakasha. Isibhakabhaka ngokusobala akuwona umkhawulo.

Siyajabula ukuthi sikhula ngo-18% unyaka nonyaka. Sinethemba lokuthi akukho lutho oluvimba iKenya ekuphokopheleni ukukhula ngamaphesenti angama-20 ngo-2019. Siyajabula futhi ngokuthi ukuthula nenjabulo esiyitholayo kube nomthelela omkhulu kulesi simo.

Ngo-2019, iGhana izokwamukela ama-Afrika angaphandle ngomcimbi wokugubha uNyaka wokubuya ''Ghana 2019''. Imakethe yaseNyakatho Melika bekuyimakethe yethu ewumgogodla ngenxa yamagugu futhi unyaka wokubuya uzosiza ekuqinisekiseni ukuvelela kweGhana njengesibani se-pan Africanism futhi kugqugquzele ukukhula kwaleyo makethe. Sizophusha ukwenza iGhana ikhaya lomndeni wama-Afrika womhlaba wonke.

“Abadlali bemboni nohulumeni kufanele babeke abantu base-Afrika emnyombweni webhizinisi nemigomo yabo. Singathanda ukubona amazwe amaningi ase-Afrika exegisa izinqubomgomo zawo zama-visa, athuthukisa imikhiqizo ebonisa "ukucabanga kohambo lwase-Afrika" kanye nemizamo yokumaketha iphindwe kabili ekukhuthazeni i-Afrika kubantu base-Afrika. Konke kumayelana nokuhamba nohwebo phakathi naphakathi kwamazwe ase-Afrika.

Ezokuvakasha seziwumkhakha obalulekile onomthelela ekuthuthukisweni komnotho wawo wonke amazwe. Imihlomulo emikhulu yezokuvakasha ukuqeda ubumpofu nokudalwa kwamathuba emisebenzi. Ezifundeni eziningi nasemazweni iwumthombo obaluleke kakhulu wemali engenayo. I-Afrika iqophe imali eyizigidigidi ezingama-US $43.6.

Lokhu kuthutheleka kwezivakashi kusho imali eyengeziwe engena kuleli zwekazi.

U-2018 bengomunye unyaka omuhle weMagicalKenya. Sibone ukukhula okuhle okuvela ezimakethe zethu ezibalulekile zemithombo yamazwe ngamazwe, okuhlanganisa ne-Afrika. Siphinde sabona ukwanda kokuhamba phakathi kweKenya yimakethe yasekhaya, ikakhulukazi ukuya oGwini kanye namapaki ezilwane asendleleni eshayelwa isevisi yesitimela iMadaraka Express.

Ngenxa yalokho sibone ukwanda kwenani lezivakashi kanjalo nezinkampani zezindiza endizela eKenya okuhlanganisa nokubuya kwe-Air France ngemva kweminyaka engama-20 kanye nokwethulwa kwezindiza eziqondile yiQatar Airways eziya eMombasa.

Maningi amathuba okuthi sibone izindawo zokuhlala ogwini ziba ngaphansi kwengcindezi yokuthi zilungiswe futhi zivuselelwe.

Mayelana nokukhula, ubulungu bethu bubone ukukhula ngo-20% okubonisa intshisekelo emsebenzini esiwenzayo. Njenge-KATA sibona ukukhula njengoba i-IATA yethula imithetho emisha ebusa ama-ejenti wezokuvakasha ngo-2019.
